Transferring from New York’s MoMA, this exhibition of the work of one of the most influential architects of the 20th century arrives at Barcelona’s CaixaForum. Covering the full range of his career, the exhibition will not only look at his creations and ideas, via photographs, sketches and models of some of his large-scale projects, but also his life, through a selection of documentary footage. All of these elements reveal the way in which Le Corbusier envisaged and imagined landscapes throughout his career, from early watercolours, sketches and photographs made in Italy, Greece, Turkey and India, to his landmark work as part of the International Style. The exhibition allows us to appreciate the sheer breadth of his interests, encompassing his work as architect, interior designer, artist, city planner, writer, and photographer, presenting everything from his theories of urban planning to his designs for furniture and even tools. Jan 29-May 11.
